Up for auction and your viewing pleasure today is Rare & Original 1971 Torino Cobra. This is good looking 'Survivor-Quality' car. The single repaint in the Light Pewter Metallic has a good look and a nice shine with all the 'Patina' you would expect of a 30+ year old repaint. If you want perfect paint, this is not it. If you want a Muscle Car with some survivor street cred, this is it. This is a very solid Cobra. The floors, frame rails, torque boxes, trunk drop offs, trunk floor, cowl, etc. all look great. The cowl is in excellent condition and does not leak. The trunk stays completely dry as well. Structurally this Cobra is one of the most solid examples available. There is some minor rust in the door corners and at the lower rear wheel wells. All very typical and they look to be confined to small areas. Please see the photos. Inside the interior presents well. The factory Medium Vermillion is a rare color that really works with the Light Pewter Metallic exterior. The highly desirable bucket seats are in good condition, still comfortable enough for a cruise or whatever. The carpet was replaced some time ago with a black custom kit. There is the normal wear like a crack in the dash and stitching separations in the headliner. The factory in-dash tachometer is a rare option that still works properly. I just had a new windshield installed. They are rather expensive compared to a Mustang, this one cost $600 to have replaced. The 351 Cleveland appears to be the original, however there are no VIN stampings I could find on the block in any of the normal areas. The engine runs excellent with nice, quiet valve train. A slight piston noise can sometimes when the engine is cold but it goes away when the engine begins to warm. All of the factory accessories like the shaker with hold down bracket, exhaust manifolds, heat shield, S-tube, dripper valve covers, 4V heads, cast iron intake are there. The only obvious non-factory component is the Edelbrock 4 Barrel carb. The car has excellent power and the engine has excellent manners on the road or in traffic. The C6 automatic has been rebuilt with a shift kit. The shifts are very crisp and it will bark the tires on the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shift. The Magnum 500 wheels appear to be the originals. There is the typical pitting and scale, but they look good for 43 year old originals. Larger BF Goodrich Radial tires have been installed with 15" 235 60's in the front and 15" 255 60's in the rear. The larger tires really fill up the wheel wells and give this Muscle Car a more aggressive look. The factory power disc brakes and power steering work excellent making this a very easy car to drive for drivers of any level. Full Marti-Report Documentation is pictured and is included with the car. I am available for questions for 9am to 8pm PACIFIC TIME for questions or to discuss. This car is available locally so I reserve to end the auction at any time. Thanks, Mike. 425-308-0802 |

Here's more of the Ford GT soundtrack
Mon, Aug 3 2015You probably won't be surprised to find out that that while we outsiders were speculating on the racing plans for the new Ford GT, the automaker was already testing the American exotic on track. Ford Performance has just posted some footage from one of those tests and it's worth a watch. In spite of that early exhaust promo and Xcar's two in-depth videos on the racer and the road-going coupe, this is the first time we've been treated to sustained looks at the track version just laying in laps and roaring by. Now that we know Ford's plans include running four cars throughout the 2016 season, the early testing makes sense. Ford will have two cars running in the GTE-Pro class in the Tudor United Sports Car Championship and another two in the same class in the FIA World Endurance Championship, all of them campaigned by Chip Ganassi Racing with the Felix Sabates team. Then the company plans to have all four cars at Le Mans, which will be Chip Ganassi's first ever tilt at the French event. If you want some practice picking out exhaust notes come 2016, check out the video above.

2015 Ford Focus ST gets sleeker style, improved dynamics
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The Brits don't really have a major auto show these days. Not in a conventional sense, anyway, with stationary vehicles under floodlights in a closed exposition space. What they do have, you could argue, is much better: the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the public can view the latest machinery not only under an open sky, but in motion as well, speeding up Lord March's front lawn. And this year, British automakers are rolling in with some very enticing new metal.
In the past few days alone we've confirmed the McLaren 650S GT3 and MSO, Jaguar F-Type Project 7, Range Rover Sport SVR and Ariel Ace will all be revealed for the first time at Goodwood this weekend. Ford isn't, strictly speaking, a British automaker, but for all its history in the UK, it might as well. So it's chosen Goodwood as the site to unveil its refreshed Focus ST.
The upgraded Blue Oval hot hatch still packs a 2.0-liter turbo four with 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque driving through a six-speed manual to the front wheels, so we're not expecting much change in measurable performance. But Ford has given the new Focus ST a new front suspension setup and a new electric power-assisted steering rack that combine to promise improved handling.
Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
